June 13 (Reuters) - U.S. equity funds witnessed the

smallest weekly net disposal in four weeks in the week through

June 11 as a smaller than expected rise in consumer prices in

May, and a U.S. trade deal with China, eased investor worries.

According to LSEG Lipper data, investors liquidated just

$212 million worth of U.S. equity funds during the week, the

smallest weekly net outflow since approximately $13.65 billion

worth of net purchases a month ago.

U.S. sectoral funds, however, still witnessed net inflows

worth a sharp $1.53 billion, the biggest amount for a week in

four. Communication services, financial and industrial sectors

with $529 million, $399 million and $388 million in net inflows,

lead the gains.

The equity large-cap, mid-cap and small-cap fund segments,

meanwhile, faced a net $2.65 billion, $1.35 billion and $100

million worth of sales.

Investors added money into U.S. bond funds for an eight

consecutive week, with their $4.08 billion worth of weekly net

purchase.

They racked up U.S. short-to-intermediate investment-grade

funds, short-to-intermediate government & treasury funds, and

municipal debt funds worth a notable $2.37 billion, $1.02

billion and $523 million, respectively.

At the same time, money market funds had a net $15.18

billion worth of weekly outflow, partly reversing a significant

$66.24 billion weekly inflow, gained in the previous week.
